Battlefield Modder
SurvivorGrim has posted a video demonstration of what is being referred to as
"Super Sonic Gunshots in BF2". Here is the gist of it..
He goes by the nick SurvivorGrim,
and what he created serves as a superb example of the direction that
combat audio in realistic games should be heading. Using Battlefield 2
as a basis, he created a small sound mod that adds the supersonic crack
effects into the game.

Some people have raised questions as to the flaws of this model. For
those of you that have never heard it in reality and can't distinguish
where it does things right and where it's wrong, I'll clarify. At close
range, the muzzle blast of the weapon should dominate and drown out a
lot of the 'snap', whereas at further ranges the muzzle blast will have
become muffled and the snap will be crisp and loud. So, the
close-quarters sections of this video are not entirely accurate, but
the long-range stuff is a good example of how it should sound.
Apparently after the mod began to spread around the net,
BF2 Mod Project Reality has committed to adding these "super sonic gunshots" into the release.
